Fonte Sala

This hidden gem I recently visited for a women's retreat and it did not disappoint. There is not a bad view to be had. The hosts of the property were attentive and very accommodating. If you are considering a retreat to the Italian country side this is a must consider option.

Where to begin with the magic of Fonte Sala.
I host women's retreats, and was seeking a venue that would be private, quiet, and support the vibe that we so carefully curate.
Fonte Sala is the first venue we have used that truly hit every single mark. Lorenzo was attentive and caring in the months leading up to the retreat, answering my many, many questions with thoughtful attention. He was available to answer questions during the time we were there, and even immediately replaced a tea kettle that had a small leak. He could see how important it was to have a quiet space, and he made sure that happened. I couldn't be more thrilled with my interactions with him.
Geanina and Nello both took beautiful care of us during our stay. Geanina's cooking was outstanding, and her sweet presence was even better. These two have such gentle souls, and their care and holding of the space was beyond magical. I wish I could have spent more time with them.
The venue itself was outstanding. When you search pictures of venues online and you see beautiful images, you think, there is no way that this place will live up to the photos. In this case, photos do Fonte Sala no justice. I wish I could have found a way to capture the tranquility and beauty that was offered to us. The rooms were sweet and comfortable, the bathrooms were perfect, the kitchens were well equipped, and the shared living spaces were lovely.
We will absolutely be bringing more groups here!

We had a wonderful stay. The hosts are really sweet and kind. Every bedroom has an en suite bathroom, a real bonus as we are a family of 5 adults. Ample and comfortable heating in winter. Well — equipped kitchen with gas hob, large modern oven, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, & toaster. I wasn't very happy with the condition of some pieces of furniture and pots and pans. Also the moka pot provided was really gunky. The showers and taps dont seem to have enough power or hot water. Small issues that faded to nothingness when we woke up and looked out the windows to see the breathtaking view of vineyards bathed in clouds and gentle sunshine.

We hosted our wedding weekend at Fonte Sala and it truly exceeded every expectation… The property is undeniably beautiful but it is also perfect for bringing your closest friends and family together, while still offering enough space and privacy for everyone to unwind. It created the most comfortable, intimate atmosphere for our celebration.
Lorenzo made us feel like family from the moment we arrived — his warmth, care, and genuine hospitality is something we’ll never forget. The whole weekend flowed seamlessly, and we were able to be fully present knowing everything was handled with heart.
The pool area was a dream too… ideal for relaxing with our guests, and equally perfect for a lively pool party. And we HAVE to mention the pizza night! Absolutely unforgettable! Our guests are still talking about it. (Thank you Geanina! )
If you’re looking for a venue in Italy that combines beauty, comfort, privacy, and the kind of hospitality that stays with you long after you leave, Fonte Sala is the place. We are forever grateful for the memories made here. 🤍✨

We're wedding photographers, and we had a wedding in this fantastic venue, so this perspective is from a vendor: we can say that this place is absolutely amazing! The views are breathtaking, the light is perfect all day, and every corner is a beautiful backdrop for photos. The team is so kind and easy to work with, which makes the day stress-free for everyone. And the food… PERFECT! We have loved shooting the wedding here, highly recommend!

We held our wedding here. Was so Nice. Only thing is it is a older house. There is no Air conditioning, but fans. The water pressure was low. It is a farm house, on the country side. Lots of insect and animals. But that is Normal. Absolute lovely place everything Else was perfect. The staff and host was like family.

We had a wonderful trip to Fonte Sala last week, staying in Torre. The house was beautiful, clean and comfortable and the gardens were gorgeous. Lots of space for 6 people but if you are coming with 8 — be aware that the final room is a small bed in the roof of the tower. Unfortunately the pool was out of service (which we only found out about around 10 days before coming) but we still had a really lovely time. There is a great restaurant and winery within walking distance, and Montefalco is just a few minutes by car. Highly recommend staying here for a trip to Umbria!

We had booked Fonte Sala Villa for this upcoming August to host our wedding there. Although we had to cancel I still wanted to write a review on Lorenzo as he was incredible and still deserves a shout out from us!
Lorenzo made our entire process so easy and calm. 2 words you don't normally hear when planning a wedding in Italy when you live on the other side of the world. From the initial questions I had prior to booking, to the questions and concerns I had throughout the process, he responded so fast with so much detail. He handles the coordinating and arranging of the catering, dessert, tables, chairs, music, bartender, etc. He's essentially a dream villa host for anyone planning a wedding and for that — I still wanted to thank him and give him the credit he deserves even if we didn't get to proceed with the trip.

We spent three nights at Fonte Sala in December. We had a fantastic visit. The grounds are well-kept and the apartment (Torre) was spacious with plenty of bedrooms for our party. The host (Lorenzo and Geanina) were responsive and available when needed. We are counting down the days until we return in 2025 for our wedding celebration. Highly recommend!

We stayed one week in Fonte Sala. We particularly appreciated the amazing view and the nice gardens of the property. The owners are responsive and welcoming.
The appartment we rented was very spacious. However the bathrooms are a bit aging and would require some renovation.
We recommend the place for people looking for an ideal location to visit Umbria.

We had the most amazing three days at Fonte Sala in June to celebrate our wedding. We loved the property — the pool was a huge hit and the garden and views are beautiful. All our guests (20 people traveling from UK & Australia) were able to stay on site with us for the whole weekend which was a huge bonus, plus the layout of Fonte Sala and its seperate buildings meant our families and friends could stay in smaller groups and have their own kitchens, patios etc. Lorenzo and the team were incredibly helpful and everything was perfect! Lorenzo also helped us immensely in the planning stages answering all of our questions and working with us to organise catering, speakers, lighting etc. It was the perfect venue and we hope to be back one day!

It is seldom in life when you get that lucky. For us, this unique place, the attentive host, the charm of Umbria created an unforgettable event that far exceeded our expectations… Walking into a picture, pinching yourself, and yet remanning in its frame was a magical experience for us and all of our guests which lasted for three whole days. We got married in this place and had a fabulous wedding which included many different variables that all had to work right — and boy, they did.
All of our providers were local, chosen by us with the help of Lorenzo, our host. Each one was incredibly professional and a joy to work with! Above all we would have to mention here Lorenzo himself, who’s excellence will be hard to capture in few words but to draw out just a few for the sake of this review we would mention him being very responsive, patient as a parent, easy to talk to, eye level person, always ensuring our needs were met with sensitivity and understanding, well-organized and clear in his communication.
The venue itself and the view that surrounds it are straight out of a fairytale. We examined many pictures carefully for six months before arriving, but nothing could prepare us for stepping inside. Our guests were just as blown away as we were, which validated our own experience. We had different events over a long weekend, and during one of them, we went sightseeing in a nearby town.

What a magical place! We booked the entire property for a weekend with friends and it was incredible.

My family had an excellent stay. The property overlooks the picturesque Umbrian countryside and is surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. It’s a peaceful retreat for families or couples. We were warmly welcomed by Giannina and she was reponsive during our entire stay—even teaching me how to make espresso on the Bialetti! Our two year old loved running the property and visiting with the lazy cat. In driving distance to grocery store, wineries and towns like Monte Falco and Bevagna. Makes for a quick drive to dinner. We’ definitely be back!

Great central location to visit all the hilltop towns in this area of Umbria. The staff were really friendly and the setting is very tranquil. We both found the bed a little hard and the lounge area would have been quite cramped if there were 4 people. Reasonably well equipped in the kitchen although there was only 1 wine glass.

Super place with very attentive staff. As we drove away we started talking about returning next year!
